So it's been a while, any words on a 3DS Emulator?

[Squall Leonhart]

What about this site?

http://3dsemulator.org/

Another fake by the fake Cryptox.

This is the same guy that put up Xbox360Emulator and Playstation2Emulator and that TemplerunPC site.

The only Trusted Cryptox belongs to the XDA community, The Cryptox claiming to be releasing emulators is a FAKE and is harvesting data via those surveys on the site.

The files obtained when you do the survey are actually shaders from GTA4.

Huh, thats a little tidbit I never knew. Thanks for the info!

[great_haseo]

actually it isn't fake 100% but the proceding to obtain it. its hard like a hell. i try to download the bios and complete the survey they give. and i download it!!! unfortunetly i failed to download it because you can't download it with booster like IDM. so if anyone can complete the survey please... upload it. and then post it in here

NO!Any download that leads to a survey is fake (And usually a Backdoor Trojan,Keylogger or Malware.)!

No, that emulator and the other ones right now are fake. I was able to get the BIOS file through some work-arounds, and after that it looked like it would work. Then when I started it up there was no audio, graphics, or controller plugins! So I had to find the .dlls for those (all the while avoiding those surveys) which took a while. Finally put all the things in place, and nothing works.

Don't waste the time/effort like I did.. haha.

[Ignis_Umbra]

there are some, but i cant show links.

desmume; is one
no$3ds: second

buggy but work on some roms, if not most

Something that most people don't seem to mention is that a good way to check if a website is real or fake: webutation.com

Enter in the URL for the website and it tells you what people comment about it, etc.

So if you're looking to order something online but the website seems fishy, webutation. If you're unsure about an emulator for a recent platform that seems really legit, webutation. Admittedly, sometimes the website might be under-known so Webutation just says it's fine, so still it's good to be careful.

And ANYTHING with a survey is fake.

Also, people that say there won't be a 3DS or Wii U emulator for a long time, that's not COMPLETELY true. The Wii U is based off of the same engine that the Wii and GameCube are based off of, which is why the Wii had emulator support relatively quickly. And the 3DS is also based off of the engine that the DS was based off of, so it shouldn't take TOO long, I heard they're already dumping some ROMs for it, but no working emulators yet.

Also, Dolphin Pro is going to support Wii U as well, they are already working on that apparently. And, don't EVER expect to see a 360 or PS3 emulator, let alone the new PS4/One. Most people with average PC's wouldn't be able to run the games on them, and Microsoft/Sony consoles aren't as emulator-friendly as Nintendo platforms. Besides, a lot of console games are available for PC too, ever heard of Steam? A lot of 360/PS3 games are cross-platform with PC support on some too, I mean, if you want to emulate a 360 or PS3 to play a game like Assassin's Creed 3, there's no reason to because you can buy it on Steam for about the same price, and if you just want to play it free, there's a such thing as Pirate Bay.

And thus ends my modern console emulation rant. xD

This information isn't accurate. The only reason emulation hasn't sprung up for PS3/360 is the difficulty inherent in running the IBM wafer-core and Power PC architecture in a virtual process on x86 processors. The PS4/Xbox One both use x86 processors, i.e. utilize hardware that's found on your desktop PC, meaning they'll be leaps and bounds easier to emulate than the previous gen's hardware. Nintendo hardware isn't "emulator friendly" because it's Nintendo, it's "friendly" because it's tech using traditional hardware architecture.

Still though.. I'm hoping that a 3DS emulator will come out soon. There are lots of us who have been following nintendo for years and we don't always have the money to buy a new device each time. i wish they could make their games more interchangeable and compatible, or at least make different playable versions. I myself dont really care much about the 3D part, i just really want to play Pokemon X or Y. So much.
A lot.

its ok if i cant play pokemon x and y , i can watch walkthroughs
